00:01Previously on Ally McBeal
00:03It's okay for a gal to demand a diamond ring from a guy before sex, but not money.
00:07Ah, Whipper likes to say diamond ring to torture me.
00:10Well, how has it come to this? We're smart women, we're fairly attractive.
00:13I'm even hot, so why aren't we with hot men?
00:18Ally.
00:23Do you, uh, find me short?
00:25What?
00:26Well, most women wouldn't consider dating a man, you know, who isn't taller than...
00:30But a lot of women would.
00:32Would you?
00:34You were about to drink this cappuccino like most men make love, skipping over all the foreplay.
00:45You know, usually when you look into the mirror like that, it was something about me.
00:49So I figure it must be a problem with Georgia, and I can understand why you wouldn't want to share that with...
00:54But I am totally here for you.
01:11I-I can't sing.
01:12It would just be backup.
01:13I thought you, maybe Georgia.
01:15Backup singers for you like, like Iquette's?
01:17It's a Christmas party tradition.
01:19Everybody sings.
01:20We rent out the bar, we have it during the day for rehearsal.
01:23Ally.
01:24Richard.
01:25Elaine says that everybody sings at our Christmas party.
01:27We can discuss it later.
01:28Right now, something big may have fallen into our lap.
01:30I need you, John Cage, my office, quick.
01:32Thanks.
01:33Ally, it's just that there's been a buzz about you being so lugubrious, and I was hoping you could squash it with a number.
01:40I'm partly looking out for you here.
01:42Thank you, Elaine.
01:43You touched me.
01:44I guess.
01:45You wanna ask for what?
01:46Did we be allowed to marry?
01:47Legally.
01:48All three of you?
01:49Yes.
01:50Well, that-that's not something you can do legally.
01:51Actually, I'm a lawyer myself, Ms. McBale.
01:52So's Patty.
01:53We're basically common law partners already.
01:54We have children together.
01:55Patty's already changed her name legally.
01:56We've come to the point where we want our union to be recognized by the law.
02:00I mean, this is obviously a test case.
02:03And it's not a test case.
02:04And it's a test case.
02:05And it's a test case.
02:06I'm not sure.
02:07That's not a test case.
02:08I don't know.
02:09You want to ask for what?
02:10Did we be allowed to marry?
02:11Legally.
02:12All three of you?
02:13Yes.
02:14Well, that-that's not something you can do legally.
02:16Well, actually, I'm a lawyer myself, Ms. McBale.
02:19So's Patty.
02:20We're basically common law partners already.
02:22It's a test case.
02:23And we think you two would be the perfect attorneys to argue it.
02:25Why?
02:26Because we're bringing it before Whipper, and she has great respect for John's legal mind
02:30and your sense of romance.
02:31This case bridges the two.
02:33The issue is ripe.
02:34It's time.
02:35I'd argue it myself if the judge and I weren't fornicating.
02:37What do you say?
02:38I say no.
02:39John?
02:42Oh, splendid.
02:43They'll do it.
02:44You're in good hands.
02:45Richard.
02:46Allie.
02:47Richard.
02:48Allie.
02:49Richard.
02:50Allie.
02:51Allie.
02:52Allie.
02:53Usually, it's only about money with me, I admit, but this time, piles, piles, and piles
02:58of money.
02:59Philosophically, I have a problem championing the constitutional rights of a threesome.
03:03Come on.
03:04The case landed on Whipper's docket.
03:06How'd that happen?
03:07Anybody's guess.
03:08Probably because I asked her to take it.
03:09Who knew she was?
03:10Now, the clients, they think we may have some special influence with the whip.
03:13Probably because I all but promised it.
03:15Added to all of this, the argument is truly viable from a legal standpoint.
03:19Allie, how can we possibly say no?
03:21It's Christmas.
03:23Let's goken.
03:25Merry Christmas.
03:26Merry Christmas.
03:27Merry Christmas.
03:29Merry Christmas.
03:52myself together. Now I'm ready to sing. I've been searching my soul tonight. I know there's
04:03so much more to light. Now I know I can shine the light to find my way back home. Baby,
04:15yeah. Two children are by Mindy and me and our third is by all three of us. What do you mean by
04:34all three? James fertilized Patty's egg. It was implanted in me and I carried it to term.
04:45Sorry. Well, obviously that this has no precedent to it. But the definition of the nuclear family
05:00is constantly evolving. The time is coming. It has to start somewhere. And it would have to start
05:06with me. I'm going to have to let you carry this, John. I mean, you're the whiz on unorthodox arguments
05:13and this, this, this one is so you. Well, I'll do it. But Richard is right. Your presence is vital.
05:23Why? Because in concept, it will seem very unromantic, at least conventionally unromantic.
05:29And your presence will take the curse off that with whippers. And I'll emerge without my trousers.
05:36She grinned.
05:45Well, I what? Sing?
05:47Now?
05:47At our Christmas party. Allie says you have a great voice.
05:51I do.
05:52Well, I thought maybe you and Georgia. Hey, Georgia. I love that suit. It's smart. Have you ever
05:58thought about putting that natural baritone of yours to a beat? I'm not singing backup for you
06:03at the party. I don't sing backup for anybody. This is for Christmas. Jesus Christ. Our Lord
06:10Savior was born. It kills me how everybody around here can be so me, me, me. I can't go shopping
06:17and I have to push back lunch. I have to go to court. Richard wants me there too now.
06:21He does? Strength in numbers. Given what we're arguing.
06:25Da, da, da.
06:27I don't remember what day it was. I didn't notice what time it was. All I know is that I fell
06:45in love with you. And if all my dreams come through...
06:49Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. What? Why are you on the stage?
06:52Oh, it's just rehearsal. I'm checking equipment. Why aren't you singing a Christmas carol?
06:58I pay for this party, Elaine. I can sing whatever I want.
07:00Oh, obviously. And this will be the third year running that you sing some kind of ode
07:06to Whipper. She wants a ring, Richard, not a medley.
07:10Thank you, Elaine. Imagine my comfort having you for emotional counsel. Would that I dye my
07:14roots so I could truly profit from your tutelage?
07:17Richard, you and Whipper barely survived the last two Christmases. Now, if you don't want
07:23to admit it's a problem to me, fine. But at least admit it to yourself or you might not
07:27be celebrating together next year.
07:29Do they as a threesome? Evidently not. There's nothing kinky. It's heterosexual, one-on-one
07:41sex. I guess the women take turns being too tired.
07:46I don't really get it. I don't get it. A penis is not a share toy.
07:50Don't say penis, Renee. It is a total man thing. Ménage a trois. It's like a harem fetish.
07:58It's not a ménage a trois thing. He's either with one or the other, but never with both.
08:06So what are we going to do, John?
08:07Well, we have two options. We can either go with science or emotion.
08:11What's the difference?
08:13Well, with science, we're armed with several well-accepted anthropological studies, which
08:17say that man, by nature, must procreate with multiple partners, spreading his seed as much
08:21as possible for the survivability of the human race. Emotion says he should follow his heart,
08:26which has a proven incapacity to be drawn to any one female for a long period of time.
08:30Personally, I lean towards science. What are your thoughts?
08:33I appreciate you're not rushing with your answers.
08:42Do you really believe that, science?
08:46Yes.
08:47Men can't stay attracted to the same female for a long period of time. That's the science.
08:53Sexual attraction is all chemical, Renee. At some point,
08:57the body stops producing the chemical for the same partner.
09:01It diminishes sexual appetite. Adult videos, lingerie, they can treat the symptoms, but...
09:08What a sad way to look at love.
09:12Married couples cannot maintain frisk for one another.
09:16It troubles me.
09:20I'd been married to Mindy for eight years, when Patty and I...
09:23You and Patty work in the same firm as lawyers?
09:26Yes.
09:27And you fell in love with Patty?
09:29I did.
09:29You were no longer in love with Mindy?
09:31Well, the fact is that my marriage did seem dead.
09:36It was meeting Patty. I fell in love with her.
09:39I thought about leaving Mindy, but I realized I couldn't. I loved her, too.
09:43Plus, she is the mother of my two children, and I didn't want to break the family.
09:46You were in love with two women.
09:48Yes.
09:50And I could either tear things apart, or I could try to bring everything together.
09:53So, the three of us, we sat down, and we talked, and we decided we would try this.
09:59This being the three of you?
10:00Mm-hmm.
10:01That was two years ago, and since then, Patty and Mindy have become close, and we decided
10:08to have a child together.
10:09And you think that justifies you in being joined in matrimony as a threesome?
10:13Well, we're a family, Your Honor. Conventional, no, but we're happy. We're devoted to each
10:19other. The kids live in a home where there's love, and trust, and security.
10:23How many people in this room could make the same claim?
10:39At first, I was devastated. My husband having an affair. I was destroyed.
10:48And how did you respond?
10:49I cried. For about two weeks. I think one of the reasons it was so painful, it came
10:55at a time when our relationship seemed stronger than ever.
10:58While he was engaging with another woman?
11:00I didn't know that. All I knew is that we were laughing together again. Talking, being
11:06affectionate. That had been missing for a long time. Sex, too.
11:10Just a second. You say that you were laughing and talking and having more sex with your husband
11:14once he started this affair?
11:16Strangely enough.
11:18Why do you think?
11:19Well, his relationship with Patty kind of opened him up. Maybe that helped my relationship
11:26with him.
11:32It almost made sense.
11:33Come on, Georgia. What if he wanted four wives or five? We should allow polygamy just
11:39as long as it works?
11:40No, but...
11:41What's wrong? Something's bothering you.
11:46Well, you and I, these past few months, you have been relaxed, more intimate. You're...
11:57We're...
11:59What? We're what?
12:01This is the best we've ever been together. Sexually, emotionally, ever since Allie came
12:09here.
12:10I beg your pardon?
12:11You've been less... I don't know... repressed.
12:17Because of Allie. This is good. This, I should write down.
12:21It is not that ridiculous.
12:22Yes, it is.
12:23No, it isn't.
12:24What, you think there's something going on between me and Allie?
12:26Of course there is something going on. Maybe not sexual, but we all know there is something
12:32going on, and...
12:33And what?
12:34And maybe the reason I'm able to live with it is because you have been. I don't know.
12:42You do know, obviously. Let's hear it.
12:47I don't think you're being unfaithful. But I think there are little pockets of intimacy
12:54that you can't get to with me that you do get to with her. And as a result, you feel
13:01less...
13:02Repressed.
13:03That is the best word I have for it. Repressed. You seem less repressed. And as a result of
13:08that, you and I have been more intimate. Allie has been good for us, and it pisses me off.
13:18That's...
13:18Crazy. I know.
13:25I've got them.
13:26Excuse me?
13:27Iquettes. I got them to sing backup for my song.
13:29You got the Iquettes?
13:31Well, not the real ones, but they're sexy, and they're black, and they coincide with
13:35my sensuality.
13:36So I'm off the hook, then?
13:38Mm-hmm.
13:43Hey, Allie, I believe you should question Patty on the stand.
13:46Why? You're doing a good job. I think Whipper is on the fence, even.
13:50Exactly. And she needs nudging from a romantic idealist.
13:53The problem is, is that she can read me, John, no matter what I say in there.
13:58Well, the idea. Two women, one man.
14:03Okay, let me ask you, were you swayed by Mindy's testimony?
14:10Her husband brings another woman into the home.
14:15To live there.
14:16A one, two, three, four.
14:22I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night.
14:29I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night.
14:35Hello?
14:37Hippatrophy?
14:37Come on, girls. We need to sex it up a little bit.
14:40It's just a rehearsal.
14:41And the party is Friday.
14:43Let's do it again.
14:43Are you ready, boys?
14:46A one, two, three, four.
14:48I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night.
14:55You know, if she ever caught her mother with Santa, she'd tell her father.
14:58In a second.
15:01So what are you going to sing, Renee?
15:04Not sure yet.
15:06But you don't want to follow me, Richard.
15:09Trust that.
15:09Underneath the mistletoe last night.
15:13Last night, last night.
15:16She didn't see me creep.
15:19She said that?
15:21Yeah.
15:22Well, it's, it's, it's, it's silly.
15:24Silly.
15:26And true.
15:29Why, it's not that huge of a...
15:32You know Steve Schwinn? You know Steve?
15:36Yeah.
15:37You know, he said that his marriage got better as soon as his wife started going to therapy.
15:42It's not that she went to counseling because there was anything wrong with the marriage.
15:46It's just feeling like talking to somebody else.
15:50She felt like it kind of decompressed her.
15:52Sometimes feeling as if you're heard by anybody helps relationships with everybody.
15:59I, I, I read that once.
16:01And sometimes having a real solid friendship, it can pay dividends at work and at home and...
16:09All over.
16:10And you and I, I think our friendship makes us both stronger.
16:16Don't you?
16:17Yep.
16:19And it's, and it's just a coincidence that we used to be lovers.
16:24What?
16:26Nothing.
16:29What?
16:29Well, it certainly isn't my plan to break up your marriage, but I can't say I'm exactly
16:36thrilled to be the best thing that ever happened to it either.
16:51Oh, separate homes?
16:53Tired.
16:55Christmas fatigue syndrome.
16:57It's only the 15th.
16:59Whipper, why do you go into this funk every year around the holidays?
17:03Is it, is it the challenge of it?
17:05Is it more fun to bringing everybody down when their spirits are in higher places?
17:09Keep digging yourself a hole, Nicky.
17:10We'll be nose to nose any second.
17:13Oh.
17:14Hmm.
17:16Now I got a buddy who's a chiropractor.
17:18His business triples in December.
17:20You know why?
17:21Neck injuries.
17:23I can't tell where it's going, but it sounds like a good one.
17:25Oh, let me see.
17:29People like to take stock at the holidays.
17:31They look around.
17:32They see what they've got and what they're missing.
17:34All that craning.
17:35What they get is a sore neck.
17:38Whipper, you want to be happy?
17:39Don't look around.
17:40Happiness can be found in one word.
17:43Denial.
17:44Happiness, Richard, is going to bed at night with something a little more secure than a fishism.
17:48Look, Whipper, you want me to marry you?
18:01I'll marry you.
18:02What's the big deal?
18:05My point is, we love each other.
18:07We're together.
18:09What's so important about marriage?
18:11What does that really mean?
18:12It must mean something, Richard, if you're so afraid of it.
18:27Isn't it obvious, Richard?
18:29She's just feeling insecure.
18:31Why does she have to impose it on me?
18:32Impose it on you?
18:33She's your girlfriend.
18:34Why does single women automatically conclude if they're unmarried they're necessarily unhappy?
18:37Oh, as opposed to men who stave off misery until after they're married.
18:41What was that?
18:43Nothing.
18:45Billy's happy.
18:45He's never been happier.
18:48That isn't true.
18:50I have definitely seen him happier.
18:54Oh, God.
18:55He told you about our conversation.
18:56What conversation?
18:57Richard.
18:58Cappuccinos.
18:59Don't you wish.
19:01What?
19:01She told her that you told her about what she told you.
19:04I'm in the middle and clueless.
19:05I feel like a lion.
19:06Allie.
19:06Billy.
19:07Bygons.
19:08Quiet!
19:08You and I need to talk.
19:12No.
19:12No.
19:12The three of us need to talk.
19:15Can I just apologize to everybody and be excused?
19:18No.
19:18This has been coming for a long time.
19:20The three of us are getting in a room together.
19:22I'm available to take the minutes.
19:24Do you just sniff trouble and seek it out?
19:26Yes.
19:27And if there's any way I can complicate it.
19:29Excuse me.
19:29What?
19:30What?
19:33We're late for court.
19:34I would be the evil other woman, yes.
19:47You seem to wear the badge proudly.
19:49I work.
19:50I wanted a family.
19:51I didn't really want to turn my kids over to a nanny.
19:54As nuts as it sounds, in addition to getting a husband, I am marrying the mother of my children.
20:00It does sound nuts.
20:02You don't have to tell me that.
20:04And I certainly didn't grow up picturing this for my marriage.
20:07But the pictures changed.
20:11Yeah.
20:15Um, you sounded a little sad with that answer.
20:19I grew up with the same dreams as everybody else, Ms. McGill.
20:26I dreamed of my wedding day, had visions of my little house, my garden, and it didn't work out exactly according to plan.
20:35But you know what?
20:38It did work out.
20:39I know it's just a holiday phase, but still, the whole point of Christmas cheer is what?
20:53Cheer.
20:53Exactly.
20:54And all she wants under that tree is a picket fence.
21:00I'm drawn to her.
21:03Whipper?
21:04Allie.
21:04I'm drawn to her.
21:07Huh?
21:08I'm tempted to invite her to the Christmas party.
21:10That's my date.
21:11Oh?
21:12We broached the subject once, and she sort of, well, she kissed me under the mistletoe, and...
21:17The moment was fraught with ambiguity, but I did sense an overture.
21:22Then ask her.
21:23The timing couldn't be better.
21:24She seems to be saying yes to everybody.
21:25I...
21:26I'm not good asking women out.
21:29There's not much to it, John.
21:31You just ask.
21:32You know the way you prepare for your big negotiating sessions?
21:36Do that.
21:37Just march in there and demand money?
21:39March in there feeling you're the strongest man on the planet.
21:42Except instead of being boned for battle, you just adjust it.
21:46But what you keep is the idea that you feel good about yourself.
21:52Even if it's a lie.
21:53Somebody has to start, and since you called the meeting...
22:03I would like to start by protesting that I've even been brought into the middle of this.
22:06I second that.
22:07I protest you being in the middle.
22:09Who's under attack here, me or him?
22:10I don't know.
22:11You don't know.
22:11That's what I said, didn't I?
22:13What are you so angry about?
22:14I am angry that in order to have a meaningful discussion about our marriage, I gotta have her in the room.
22:19I am angry because I don't even know who to blame.
22:22I am angry because I like you better since she came back into your life.
22:27I am angry because somehow she has managed to make you and I closer.
22:31I am angry because I am not sure that I want her out of your life.
22:36I am angry because I don't know how to handle this.
22:39And on top of it all, I like her, damn it!
22:41I am angry about that too.
22:43Okay.
22:54Um, I'm really glad that we cleared the air and, um...
22:59Bye.
23:00Get back here.
23:02I think we need to get really honest with each other.
23:05Georgia, husbands, wives, ex-girlfriends.
23:08That is not a combination that calls for honesty.
23:10That is a combination that calls for pretending.
23:12Which I was quite capable of.
23:14But you and me and him being in this office together?
23:18The things I've heard in this trial,
23:21some of it is going on here.
23:23She has made you more emotionally accessible.
23:26Do you deny that?
23:27Not for a second.
23:28Should have denied it.
23:32Look, I am getting out of this room,
23:36and whether or not my friendship with Billy
23:38has made your relationship better or not,
23:40it doesn't matter.
23:41And whatever you two decide to do about that,
23:45I shouldn't be in this room.
23:51Sorry.
23:58Please, um, disregard that one.
24:11Oh!
24:11I saw mommy tickle Santa Claus
24:18underneath a big song.
24:22She's not bad.
24:23We'll be better.
24:25Oh, what life it wouldn't feel
24:29if daddy had only seen
24:32mommy kissing Santa Claus last night.
24:38Is it close?
24:39If we win this case,
24:40I swear I'll kill myself.
24:42Three-way marriage.
24:44Everything I grew up believing in,
24:46and I don't care if it was a giant myth.
24:48Allie,
24:49you grew up
24:50dreaming that you'd be a mother
24:52and have a career.
24:54Maybe this three-way thing
24:55is what you dreamed about.
24:56Oh.
24:58Good night, honey.
25:00Good night.
25:00Good night.
25:03Relationships should be in twos,
25:04or at least in even numbers.
25:07I mean,
25:07why do you think women feel
25:09the need to be married anyway?
25:10I mean,
25:10it can't just be the security thing
25:12because men are just as insecure as women.
25:14Being unmarried isn't a stigma to men.
25:17Eligible bachelor.
25:19Hold me.
25:21Society drills it into us
25:22that women should be married.
25:23Society drills it into us.
25:25Smart people should have careers.
25:26Society drills it into us
25:27that women should have children
25:28and mothers should stay at home.
25:30And society condemns
25:32the working mother
25:33that doesn't stay at home.
25:35So,
25:35what chance do we really have
25:36when society keeps on drilling us?
25:38We could change it, Renee.
25:40Society is made up
25:41of more women than men,
25:42and if women really wanted
25:44to change society,
25:45they could do it.
25:46I plan to change it.
25:49I just want to get married first.
25:56Uh, your honor.
26:02I'm sorry for the intrusion.
26:04Uh, would you mind
26:07if I, if I came in
26:08for just a second?
26:08Uh, no.
26:16Uh, honey?
26:17Honey?
26:18Oh, I, I didn't mean
26:19to disturb anybody.
26:20You don't have to get up.
26:21Oh, that's okay.
26:22Is something the matter?
26:23Oh, no.
26:24No, no, no.
26:25I, I just came to,
26:26to get a peek
26:27of your home.
26:38I'm sorry.
26:40I don't want to bother anyone.
26:42Good night.
26:43Merry Christmas.
26:48Merry Christmas.
26:57Merry Christmas.
27:27Merry Christmas.
27:30Did you ask her yet?
27:31I'm still stealing myself.
27:33Strong, assured, fresh, bold.
27:35You've just described
27:35a breath mint.
27:41I don't know
27:42what else to really say.
27:44I'm gathering that.
27:46All last night
27:47and all today
27:47you've been saying
27:48you don't know
27:49what else to say.
27:52I'm inclined to think
27:53you have nothing else to say.
27:54again.
27:56Georgia,
27:57if you tell me
27:59to dial back
28:00my friendship
28:00with Allie,
28:01I will do it.
28:02If it is a threat
28:03to us,
28:04I will do it
28:04whether you ask me to
28:06or not.
28:09Maybe
28:09I should leave this firm.
28:11That's the easiest solution.
28:12I don't want that.
28:15What I do want
28:16is to completely
28:18trust you.
28:19You don't know?
28:26No.
28:28Are you
28:29technically faithful?
28:32Yeah.
28:33Are you totally?
28:36No.
28:37When you go to her
28:41and repeat things
28:43I have said to you,
28:44when you go
28:45to her
28:46as a sounding board
28:48for stuff
28:48that involves
28:49you
28:50and me,
28:51that is not
28:52fidelity.
28:55She understands that.
28:58Why can't you?
29:00But even
29:01when
29:03by your own
29:04admission
29:05me using her
29:07as a sounding board
29:08helps you
29:09and me.
29:11I need
29:12to feel
29:12that
29:15whatever
29:16are successes
29:17or failures
29:19she's got
29:21no part
29:22of them.
29:30Okay.

33:20I never had
33:21something I still want
33:23there is really
33:26no good reason
33:27for the commonwealth
33:27not to recognize
33:28a union of three
33:29what's the big deal
33:31I know
33:34the institution
33:35of marriage
33:35is changing
33:36maybe I
33:38know that
33:39there are a lot
33:39of people
33:40who may not
33:40consider it
33:41a sanctity
33:41but I also
33:44know this isn't
33:44an erosion
33:45I'm willing
33:45to contribute to
33:46your timing
33:49may be right
33:50on this issue
33:50but you picked
33:52the wrong judge
33:52plaintiff's motion
33:54denied
33:55I'm sorry
34:08yeah
34:09she just
34:12you know

34:16decision

34:53why introduce the notion
34:55that it could all work out
34:57that would be a
34:59holiday
35:00fishism
35:01I'm afraid
35:09of what
35:13my parents

35:22I grew up
35:24in my room
35:26wearing headphones
35:28blaring
35:29music
35:30so I wouldn't hear
35:31my
35:33my heart
35:35would actually
35:35quicken a little
35:36near the end
35:38of songs
35:39cause I
35:40I knew
35:40during that little
35:41gap
35:43you know
35:43I'd be able
35:43to hear
35:44you're a
35:46so you equate
35:47marriage with that
35:48I equate
35:49depending on
35:50anybody with that
35:51whipper
35:52the fact
35:54that you're so much
35:55older than me
35:56it
35:58I chirp so proudly
36:00doesn't matter
36:01it does
36:02matter
36:02it's an automatic
36:04built-in defense
36:05so much age differences
36:06this could never lead
36:07to anything permanent
36:08it's automatic
36:09there's a
36:09a guardrail
36:11there from day one
36:12that aside

37:45no no no
37:46the truth is
